Barcelona Set to Play Inaugural Fixture at Upgraded Camp Nou over the weekend

The club confirmed they will play at the renovated but unfinished Camp Nou on Saturday. Athletic Bilbao will visit the Basque side in La Liga 30 months following their departure to allow renovations to start.

“We envisioned this comeback. The moment has arrived. Home again at Spotify Camp Nou.”

Attendance will be limited but 45,401 spectators will be allowed to watch based on approved permits. After final construction, the Camp Nou is due to hold over 104,000 attendees, a rise from the old capacity. The club said recent additions comprise a renovated tunnel for players plus modern locker rooms.

Recent Activities
